Quote by William Shakespeare

Everything that gristles is not gold.

Everything that gristles is not gold.

Summary

This quote is a play on words, with a slight alteration of the common phrase "all that glitters is not gold." It suggests that not everything that appears promising or valuable on the surface is necessarily of true worth or quality. Just as not all shiny things are made of gold, this quote cautions against making judgments or assumptions based solely on outward appearances or initial impressions. It serves as a reminder to exercise discernment and look beyond superficial attributes when assessing the true value or worthiness of something or someone.

Because we spoke so loudly, opponents of reproductive health access demonized and smeared me and others on the public airwaves. These smears are obvious attempts to distract from meaningful policy discussions and to silence women's voices regarding their own health care.

The consuming desire of most human beings is deliberately to plant their whole life in the hands of some other person. I would describe this method of searching for happiness as immature. Development of character consists solely in moving toward self-sufficiency.

Yet they will obtain something greater and more glorious than they had dared to ask.

I was very aware of office politics because I was so baffled

I was very aware of office politics because I was so baffled by them. So much so goes unsaid.

I had to be hyper-vigilant in every office I worked in.
